Need Help Please. Shift lever won't get out of park

[aznhulk]

My shifter will not let me out of park. I heard this is a common problem. Can I please get some help?

thank you.

That's a common problem with the W163... probably all models.... seems to be related to the brake stop switch.

Try a search in the W163 forums on

www . m b w o r l d . o r g (remove spaces)

or

www . pointed three . com (remove spaces, commonly refered to as P3)

I just made a repair (DIY) writeup myself for the center console panel removal on P3.

This is where the brake light switch kills the speed signal, they only cost £8.75
